Hey guys, started a new recurring topic on my website regarding what I would like to see brought into The Clone Wars from the EU.

I am curious to see what ideas you guys and gals have about what you would like to see in TCW in future seasons.

I am interested in seeing the Hapes Consortium. My full thoughts posted in the spoiler box.

Season 3 of The Clone Wars saw George Lucas, Dave Filoni and TCW crew dipping into the Expanded Universe and incorporated the planet of Dathomir and the evil Nightsisters into canon.

Dathomir was first introduced by Dave Wolverton in his 1994 book, The Courtship of Princess Leia. But Dathomir and the witches of that planet were not the only interesting planet and culture introduced into the Star Wars universe by Mr. Wolverton.

The planet Hapes, the Hapes Consortium and the Hapan people are both visually interesting and provide the opportunity for an interesting tale to tell.

For those unfamiliar with the Hapans, a brief summary. They are a matriarchal society descended from mixed group of pirates and their female captives. Hapan society is ruled by the Queen Mother and Hapan politics is rife with plotting and intrigue.

The Hapans were isolated from the rest of the galaxy by a spacial phenomenon, the transitory mists and as such developed with only limited interaction with the Republic and later the Empire. They have their own technologies (Battle Dragons) and their own unique culture.

One of the fascinating aspects of Hapan culture is that they selectively have breed over the generations for beauty. (A bit similar to the Lost Tribe of the Sith).

I can't help but get a little Amazonian/Wonder Woman image in my head when I think about the Hapans, and I would be intrigued to see George Lucas and Dave Filoni's take on this planet and the Hapan people.

As for the story telling opportunity. The Republic is currently involved in a massive civil war with the Confederacy. The Republic could send special envoy mission to the Hapes Consortium in an attempt to recruit them to throw in against the Confederacy. While on this mission, the Jedi (Ahsoka? Anakin? Obi-Wan? ) we could see the Queen Mother or members of her court try to seduce Anakin and Obi-Wan in order to gain powerful potential breeding stock, only to be rebuffed by the Jedi there by creating a bit of an inter-galactic incident. The Queen Mother declaring the Jedi's enemies of the Hapan state and using the incident as an excuse to stay out of the Republic's civil war. The rest of the story arc could focus on the Jedi attempt to escape Hapan space to the safety of Republic space.

While it would be cool to see the EU, as always, it would make me nervous._________________

Same here, Reep. However, there is something they could do that could clean up the EU - though the solution, too, would require messing with already established canon. I'd like to see Nejaa Halcyon in the show. It would be interesting - for me, at least - to see Nejaa interact with Anakin. One who has a family in the open, and one who has to keep his secret. They could also show his death, as shown in I, Jedi. Of course, for those of you who remember, it was set after the CW - however, we know there were no real Jedi presence to make it true. So they could place the even in the CW. I'd be interested who they name as Desert Wind._________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it (or even read all of it). These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.

Nejaa Halcyon's family isn't in the open though. Before the prequels came out, everyone assumed that Jedi could have families, and so when Corran Horn's Halcyon ancestry was fully developed in I, Jedi, we never assumed it was hidden.

Nejaa Halcyon was then developed more fully in Jedi Trial, where it was made clear that his wife and son (Valin aka Hal Horn) were secret. He revealed it subtly to Anakin, who was all "Wow! Jedi CAN have secret families and still be good Jedi!"_________________"I'm...from Earth."

I'd like to see a Gand, maybe a group of Gand bounty hunters, or just Gand pilot. Though I guess that's not really anything Expanded Universe...

So how about Durge

Planet wise I'd like to see Lorrd._________________

I totally share your view on this, but keeping that in mind I would like to see the following things:
-Reenactments for all/some of the battles from The Clone Wars Animated Series.
-The planets: Ord Mantell, Raxus Prime, Korriban, Ithor, Nar Shaddaa, Onderon
-Characters/species: Durge, Bothans, Whipids, more Trandoshans, Nightsisters (riding Rancors this time), more Quinlan Vos and Traviss' style Mandalorians

Enough wishes for them to pick from I would say _________________"Strong you are with the dark side, young one. But not that strong.

I know it's impossible but I feel that Castas got the short end of the blaster - er I mean stick.

If there is any way to bring him back so he could redeem himself in the eyes of Aura Sing - I'd be happy _________________<- If you only knew hehehehehehe hehehehehehehehehe )

Moar Qui-Gon (I know this really can't happen, sadly).

Moar explorations of the Force in the vein of Mortis.

Opress and Maul storyline continued with moar Nightsisters.

I'd be interested to see George Lucas' take on the history of the Sith. I'd also be interested to see George Lucas' take on a group that uses the Force that isn't Jedi or Sith. I suppose he has like the Nightsisters, but I mean an original group not already in the EU.

Luckily, Dream, it has been firmly hinted at that there will be more Nightsister action._________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of the Nightsisters as well, and perhaps more of their culture too. I found Mother Talzin fascinating...even if it was in a scary way! _________________"Many of the truths we cling to, depend greatly on our own point of view" ~ Obi-Wan Kenobi
